I re-paste the heatsink with Arctic MX4 and temperature of the CPU never reach more than 81C.  Before re-pasting it hits 98C often during gaming Farcry5.  Now, it is much cooler. The pasting job from HP was actually ok with enough thermal paste but MX4 is just so much better than I expected for a long-life thermal paste (8 years ideal period).  MX5 is slightly better but do not hold the performance as well as MX4 over 4 years.

Running  latency mon for 3 seconds, are you kidding me? Do it properly or don't bother at all, you just making yourself look like you don't have a clue.

Gigabyte Aero 15X v8 has also LGD05C0 but in this review important characteristics are different (Black Level Level and Contrast). Check Aero's review

Hello! Thank you for article!
Can anybody help with definition of display model? From some information this model has display B156HAN08.2 and not LGD05C0. Can you check it?

hi thank u for excellent article. i would like to know if the thunderbolt is connected to cpu as in alienware or to pch wherein DMI bottleneck comes in. hwinfo shows that gpu uses only x8 pci leaving room for direct cpu thunderbolt. thank u.

I checked the GPU and GPU memory speed during Dirt 4 gaming in Ultra 1080p. 1.5 Ghz GPU, 8 Ghz memory, it is comparable to regular GTX1070.  With EVGA Precision I can overclock it to 1.6 Ghz or higher.  But the memory is limited to 8.5 Ghz. 
The fan speed is not that loud if we limit the GPU at 50-60 fps and temperatures of GPU and CPU always below 70C.  Limiting fps is beneficial to less stress on hardware and cooler temperature.
Even the base clock is very fast for all game at max 1080p. As long as it is higher than 60 fps,  my eyes cannot really see the difference.  I prefer stabile 60 fps instead of 100 fps with occasional dip to 30 fps.

I tested mine with full same specs but with 2x8Gb DDR4 Skhynix 2666 Mhz.  When I set the bios with fan minimum and undervolt with XTU for -0.150 V, The Laptop never have Thermal Throttling anymore.  With default voltage on the CPU.  It has pulses Thermal Throttling, clock down for few second to 3.2 Ghz instead of 3.9 in Dirt Rally.
The temperature rarely reach 90C with undervolting.  Without undervolting, it often hits 95C but no significant throttling. The fan still quiet loud aobut 45-46 dB in heavy load.
When browsing, the fan do not spin continuously.  Mostly stop.

Had this one for 29 days.
Beautiful laptop and fast.
But cpu cooking everything under load is not nice, 99-100°C on all cores in pubg. Gpu stayed at 79°C, but no where on the box or at the reseller it stared thaat thos was the max-q version.
The real problem however is that I measured 47 dB at head height and 57 dB near the right exhaust. Even with closed headphones and action games you can't hear anything with this jet engine blasting on.

Only way to make this gaming laptop useable, was to go to bios and adjust tpw to lowest (10W I think) put an -25% hit on performance, but it could be used in the same room with headphones on.

Returned it free of charge and have not looked back.

I'm missing CPU temperature readings in full load.
HP Omen i7 6 cores are infamous with high CPU temperatures about 98 degrees Celsius.
I'm really curious if HP managed to improve cooling of CPU in the last serie or it is still as bad as before

Looks like a Lenovo Legion. I so wish HP had stuck with the design language of the original 960M HP Omen laptop, that was truly unique.

The Omen 15 brings all the current computer games smoothly to the matte Full-HD display. Hewlett Packard uses a very responsive 144-Hz IPS panel here, and the rest of the equipment is also right: NVMe SSD, 32 GB of working memory, Thunderbolt 3.
